Hallman Boost Controller Pro Series Installation Instructions
The HBC (Hallman Boost Controller) that you just purchased is cnc machined of high quality billet Aluminum and Stainless Steel. This high performance boost controller has features not found on any other manual boost controller, such as:
• Fast Spool-up (This is not a bleeder valve type controller)
• Non-Locknut Adjustment System (Easy adjustment, no tools required, no locknut required)
• Over-Boost Protection (Internals and adjustment knob of valve cannot be lost)
• Expandability (Cockpit control ready with addition of an add-on kit) Before you install your HBC you must already have a performance exhaust system, a low restriction air filter and an after market boost gauge. An after market boost gauge is a must because most stock gauges will not read correctly at higher than stock boost levels. Raising your boost level will void your warranty and it can also destroy your engine if not done correctly.
This kit includes much of the necessary hardware and instructions to install and mount the HBC on almost any turbo-charged application. Note: Not all of the hardware will be used with each application. In some applications the lines may be hard to install on the actuator. A tiny drop of motor oil on your finger and then applied to the fitting will allow for easier installation of the lines. Lines can be cut to any length that will allow for a suitable installation. Read through the instructions to find an application for your particular turbo setup.
Section 1, The Basics:
Our boost controller functions by interrupting the pressure line running to the wastegate actuator. The boost controller creates a differential in that line. If your actuator is a 10 psi actuator and our controller is adjusted to create a 2 psi differential then you will have 12 psi of boost. Since you can control the differential, you can add boost beyond what your stock actuator is capable of producing. Referring to figure 1 will show a diagram of the valve and the proper connections for installation.
First, locate your wastegate actuator. It is typically mounted to the turbo unless you have an external wastegate. You can refer to figure 2 for a diagram of the wastegate actuator. The actuator has a port on the canister; this port will have a vacuum line connected to it. The line will run to a boost source that is used to operate the actuator. If you trace the line from the actuator it will go to one of the following boost sources: the compressor housing of the turbo, the intercooler plumbing, or somewhere on the intake manifold. This is the line that you will want to remove or cut and install our controller inline between the boost source and the wastegate actuator. Again referring to figure 1 will provide a diagram as to which line connects to the appropriate barb. You may encounter a “T” in the line running between the wastegate actuator and the boost source. The vacuum line off of the “T” will run to a boost control solenoid. We recommend that you remove the “T” and the lines running to the solenoid but leave the solenoid plugged into the factory wiring harness.
